I had exactly the same problem as you when I was trying to have two volumes and two tones. As soon as I turned one pickup slightly down it cut out completely. Tried everything and could not get it to work - different wiring, different pickups to make sure that it wasn't them at fault but nothing worked. The solution? Abandoned the whole lot and fitted a set of EMGs Not the answer you need but myself and a couple of forum members spent a hell of a lot of time trying to solve it but couldn't fathom it out

I'd be more interested in hearing them without all the overdrive though to hear the real sound of them

I for sale a near mint condition DBX 215 2 channel 15 band rackmount EQ. It features 2 channels of 15 bands of EQ, highpass filter, bypass, gain control, clip light and output level LEDs I bought this to do 2 things - The first channel was to act as an always on sort of bandpass fiter to remove frequencies that my bass generated but that my cabs couldn't produce. The second was to switch in channel two for when I used a plectrum as I was doing away with my pedalboard and the GEB-7 that I used on it (which is also for sale) The connectors on the rear are separate XLR and 1/4" jacks for inputs and outputs on both channels and it uses an IEC cable. I'm now simplifying things and just want to go straight into my amp and not via pedals, processors, wireless etc so this means selling this. Looking for [s]£80 posted[/s] £60 plus postage and payment by bank transfer. All the marks you see in the pictures are just tiny dust particles, my camera seems to pick everything up [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/4u%20Rack%20%20DBX%20EQ/DSC02783_zps8824ce9b.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/4u%20Rack%20%20DBX%20EQ/DSC02781_zps9cb4f7a8.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/4u%20Rack%20%20DBX%20EQ/DSC02786_zps38fa33bf.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/4u%20Rack%20%20DBX%20EQ/DSC02789_zps7d6652b9.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/4u%20Rack%20%20DBX%20EQ/DSC02787_zps32c1ac73.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/4u%20Rack%20%20DBX%20EQ/DSC02794_zps659fd03e.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/4u%20Rack%20%20DBX%20EQ/DSC02799_zpsb933d1bf.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/4u%20Rack%20%20DBX%20EQ/DSC02793_zps6eabcc78.jpg.html"][/url]

I'm trying to simplify everything now so instead of having a million cables, pedalboard, wireless etc I'm just going from my bass straight into my amp. I'm going to be getting myself a 2u rack as it's all I need and stops me looking at this one thinking what other else I can put in it hence the reason for selling this one. I've had this since about August last year and it's been carried only by me, never been in a van and never chucked about as I always look after all my stuff, even the stuff that's designed to protect other stuff like this is. The interior measures 484mm from front rack to rear rack which is fantastic if you want to rack stuff front and rear - I've used the rear rack to attach a powerstrip but you could effectively attach a processor of some sorts that you don't have to adjust and just keep on I'm looking for £45 delivered to UK mainland. Payment by bank transfer is preferable. Nothing in the rack is included except the rack mounting screws. There are 25 screws in there - enough to rack 6 items with one screw spare and you should be able to get more if required easily enough [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/4u%20Rack%20%20DBX%20EQ/DSC02775_zpsc785470f.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/4u%20Rack%20%20DBX%20EQ/DSC02772_zpsb7307d48.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/4u%20Rack%20%20DBX%20EQ/DSC02776_zps7a4d02ec.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/4u%20Rack%20%20DBX%20EQ/DSC02783_zps8824ce9b.jpg.html"][/url]

Being a big fan of the Laney stuff I would say the NX810 which I also believe is the lightest of all of them by some margin at 45kg.

Always loved the White Falcon bass - this is the nicest 12ver I've seen which previously was the Chandler Royale
-
I would like to have my precision routed for a mudbucker but as I run EMGs and there isn't an EMG version of it, I imagine it would be a PITA to wire up. I think a 35CS would look a tad silly

Pull out Rack Shelf - SOLD

I stupidly sold this and have since bought another one. I noticed on the box that these are now made in China but look and perform exactly the same. I'm in the process of breaking this new one in

I bought a special edition G&L but it arrived with some defects so it went back for a refund. At the same time I had bought a Hipshot BT-1 extender which was never fitted. In fact it's never even been taken out of the packet so is in minty fresh "as new" condition. These are £79 delivered from Bass Direct so I'll do my one for £55 delivered to mainland UK. Payment by bank transfer please.

I'm emptying my pedalboard of the few things I actually had on it. I was using this for when I changed to playing with a plectrum but I found myself a rack EQ instead so this is surplus to requirements. It's a Made inTaiwan one. It's been well used but not abused and has scratches and stuff on it. The white tip of the volume slider is missing and the slider itself is slightly bent but it alll works as it should be. I'm looking for £35 posted to mainland UK but am open to offers - his & hers matching luggage, weekend for two in February etc [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/DSC02757Large_zps49b86bc0.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/DSC02758Large_zpsf7fac356.jpg.html"][/url]

I never actually got around to using this. Aside from some marks on the drawer itself it hasn't actually ever been fitted into a rack. I'm looking for £30 posted to mainland UK or thereabouts by bank transfer [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/DSC02755Large_zpsd92a7a98.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/DSC02756Large_zpsf31612c8.jpg.html"][/url]

I've decided to go back to a cable for no other reason than I want to just plug straight into my amp without having a pedalboard in front of me which kind of defeats the purpose of having a wireless. I might get myself a rack one in the future so for now this is for sale. The receiver has been fitted to my pedalboard with a zip tie so no velcro to be found anywhere. One of the plastic things that hold the clip onto the transmitter broke the day I bought it as is a common trait with these so I glued the clip permanently and it's been rock solid ever since. There's a couple of marks here and there but I look after all my gear so there's nothing you should be worried about. This came with a 2 pin euro plug so I bought a dedicated 500mA one to use instead of daisy chaining it and this is included, as is the original jack to jack cable, instruction manual and a couple of Duracels to get you started. I'm looking for £135 posted to mainland UK. Payment by bank transfer please [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/DSC02763Large_zps8bf4e28e.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/DSC02764Large_zpsd0095e8c.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/DSC02762Large_zps279e0d8a.jpg.html"][/url]

Is the amp or the cab most important when you want a good sound?
Delberthot replied to gjones's topic in Amps and Cabs
[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1390316428' post='2343944'] The problem with that cab is that because of the depth of the stage (or lack thereof) [b]you end up with the speaker right by your arse, which can emit sounds [/b]but is pretty crap at hearing. [/quote] So I've been told I only used that Ashdown once and I had to crank it almost to 10 to hear it on stage whereas my MAG400 doesn't have to go anywhere near as high. Must have been faulty to have had to do that - at least it wasn't me that broke it -

Delberthot replied to gjones's topic in Amps and Cabs
I also know the venue you are referring to. I hate that cab, all I ever get is rumble and clack from the tweeter. I could never get it loud enough to hear myself without over powering everything else on stage I just bring my 15" cab and amp and sit them on top of their cab so that mine is at ear level. In fact we'll be there on Thursday for the 9.30 slot. -
That's exactly what I do - 15" for small gigs with PA support, 4x10" for larger stages and both just for the hell of it & use the balance control

thinking of selling my Hartke and trying Genz Benz
Delberthot replied to clashcityrocker's topic in Amps and Cabs
[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1390247069' post='2343162'] Maybe try a change of cab if weight isn't the main factor in your decision? I found Ampeg cabs worked particularly well with Hartke heads. [/quote] I found the opposite. All I got was mud, and clack from the tweeter. -
Kick back amps as a monitor / better ways of hearing on stage?
Delberthot replied to dodge_bass's topic in Amps and Cabs
[quote name='rOB' timestamp='1360710317' post='1975371'] Can I suggest an amp stand? Lift your amp nearer to your ears and angle it up like a wedge. No need for a new cab. I use my mini rig on an amp stand as a monitor and di into the pa. Just a suggestion ;-) [/quote] I used this setup for years and am about to again for larger gigs with PA support although with different amp and cab than the picture to keep the stage volume down [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/DSC02041Medium.jpg.html"][/url] -
[quote name='goblin' timestamp='1386417018' post='2299837'] I use the Hartke's big brother, the LH1000 which I run at 4ohms, and without PA support with two cabs I rarely turn up above 3. I wouldn't worry too much about running it with one of the 8ohm cabs, it'll still be plenty loud enough [/quote] I have the same amp and run it bridged with a Laney NX410 at 8ohms. Plenty of volume. If you're only going to be using your cab as a monitor then second hand I'd go for something like a Trace or Ashdown 2x10" but for brand new, my money would be on a Laney NX115. Read my review on here about it for more info. I love Laney cabs and they sound great through the Hartke LH heads. That cab has plenty of volume and I've done pub gigs with no PA support with one of those. £279 new and you can pick up a Roqsolid cover for £40. They're 21kg so quite light.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1386343272' post='2299056'] I'm 30 now, I'm never going to make pro, I play gigs with no problems, couldn't give a f*** from there on. [/quote] I'm 38 and have never wanted to make it pro. It's always been a hobby. Make it my lively hood and it stops being fun unless there's guaranteed to be vast amounts of wealth at the end of it. I know I'm good, other people tell me I'm good but I'm not always happy with my playing. I remember reading an article about Stu Hamm where he said that he has to try hard not to get too excited cos if he does he starts playing harder and it affects his playing. If I get too excited or if I can't hear myself well enough then I start playing harder and I can't play what I want to play. Other than that I'm very happy with everything else. I don't practice at home, in fact I rarely pickup my bass at home ever and I think that's what keeps my playing fresh. If I wasn't gigging as often then I think I'd need to practice at home

I just love playing My Sharona. It's dead tight with my still relatively new rock band ( on at Finnegans Wake in Edinburgh tomorrow night if anyone's out and about ) Weird but some of the ones I enjoy playing most are ones where I use a plectrum after 26 years as mainly a fingers player - Smells like teen spirit, Song 2 and my particular favourite complete with drop D is "into the valley". Big hefty bass in that one There's also a medley I really love playing with a band I dep with. It begins with Play that Funky music then goes into Brick House by the Commodores where I have to drop the E to D as I'm playing it, Sex Machine then Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand and occasionally Cosmic Girl somewhere in the middle
